Thick black lines cut down and across a white background in this abstract, vertical painting. Long lines plunge down the composition along the right edge and near the left. A horizontal line connects the two, a little above the center of the canvas, creating an offset H-like form, shifted to our right. A shorter, diagonal line runs from the top edge, near the left leg of the H. It comes down just past the crossbeam of the H and crosses the width to make a second horizontal line. A few pointed, jagged strokes fill in the area between and around the horizontal lines of the H form. The leg near the lower right of the canvas is thicker and serrated along the inside edge. A wide, horizontal band nearly connects the bottom legs at the bottom of the canvas. Black flecks and drips splatter around the white background.
